Seems pointless to spend so much on a 1155 P67 now that Z68 is released. This would be a better motherboard imo ebuyer.com/pro…313

Please explain the advantages, they seem pretty much the same to me and this is made out of military grade materials and the capacitors are 2.5 times more durable, it can handle 25% more voltage without frying and you get a ASUS 5 Year Guarentee.

"ASUS doesn't ship the primo slab with a dedicated cooling fan, so component temperatures can actually go up ten degrees Celsius when wearing the shroud with a system under heavy load."

I looked at this mobo a while back and was put off with the crap plastic covering the components. Good intentions don't always lead to good design.

“Military-grade Motherboard with Thermal Armor”

If I was 12 and had a particularly lucrative paper-round I would be mightily impressed by that and waste my money in buying one. As I’m not I laugh my ass off.

The joke is that since the Sandy Bridge CPUs have very limited over-clocking ability at the bus speed level all this fancy motherboard stuff is mostly a waste of time. The CPU (K series only) handles the brunt of the over-clocking via the multiplier which negates the relevance of most of this stuff.
